sewng-machines. Barre headquarters, Per-
ley Chapdler's jewelry store. He has the
agency for the White sewing-machine, of
which j. c. Griggs of Waterbury, VT, says;
"I have sold the White machine for the
past six years and have never yet had a
customer who failed to pronounce it the
best in use. On over four hundred ma
chimes which have sold during that time,
all of which are fully warranted, 1 have
been called upon to pay out less than five
dollars for repairs"
ABOUT one hundred head of cattle were
unoaded at the Central Vermont depot on
Monday last consisting of full-blooded
Durhams. Jerseys and Holsteins, and grades
of each kind cows with calves by their
sides, farrow cows and cows coming in this
fall and winter; oxen, calves, steers and
heifers. This stock was bought to sell, con-
tains some of the finest stock in the state
and will be sold at as low price as the
small native stock, and is worth at least
twice as much. The stock was driven to
Cabot to the farm of the owner George
Gould, where it will be sold at auction in
the near future unless previously disposed
of at private sale.

Happy Homes.

Much has been written and said about
how to make home happy. The moralist
and the preacher have hackneyed this
tn me until it would seem nothing more
remained to be said. But the philosophers
have gone far out of their way to account
Tor the prevalence of ill-assorted couples
and Unhappy homes, and have overlooked
the chief cause. Most of the unhappiness
OF married life can be traced directly to
those functional arrangements to which
women are subject. In nine cases out of
ten the irritable, dissatisfied and unhappy
wife is sufferer from some female COM
plant" A trial of DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will produce more domestic
happiness than million sermons or philo-
sophical treatlses. 1t cures all those pecul-
lar weaknesses and ailments incident to
women. 1t is the only medicine sold by
druggists under positive guarantee from
the manufacturers, that it will give satlsiac-
ton in every case or money will be refund
ed. See guarantee printed on wrapper en-

permanently, and she has had no return Of
it." Another case is that Of Mr.. r. B. Kyle,
Tower Hill, Appomattox county, Va, who
writes November. 1886: "Was afflicted for
several years with rheumatism and grew
worse all the time. Eminent physicians
gave no relief; had spasms, and was not ex-
pected to live was rubbed all over with st.
Jacobs Oil. The first application relieved,
the second removed the pain, continued use
cured me; no relapse in five years, and do as
much work as ever" These are proofs of the
perfection of the remedy, and, taken in con-
nection with the miracles performed in other
cases, it has no equal.

Distributing Manure Evenly.

On most long titled farms the year.
~ crop is largely dependent on the
yearly application of manure. 1t is
therefore important that the manure
be evenly distributed; if not, the crop
will be not only deficient, but uneven
ness of ripening, If of grain, will make
what there is of it harder to harvest.
This is especially true of commercial
manures, which, owing to the small
amounts used per acre, cannot easily
be distributed uniformly so as to
cover the entire surface even with the
drill. On small fields with short bouts
it is generally better done, for at each
turn the driller puts in a fresh supply
and sees that the tubes are working
all right. II the bouts are long the
farmer puts in g. larger quantity,
which is more apt TO clog the tubes
and cause them to distribute uneven
ly. The result is seen in streaked
appearance of the field after the grain
is up, and this continues until harvest.
More than half the value of CONNER
cial fertilizers is lost by imperfect dis
tributiou through the drill. Sown
broadcast they are still more uneven
ly distributed, and have the further
of not being in contact
with the seed. It is this last circum.
stance that makes the drilling ma
nures so widely popular. If the work
is we'll done it gives the grain a quick,

THE FARMER AND HIS WIFE.
Agricultural Confer mt.

Agricultural Content.
He rises at five with the chickens,
And breakfasts on greasy pork;
DRINKS coffee out of saucer,
And never uses fork.
When the stars appear in the heavens,
And the bat in the cleaning whirrs,
He's in bed with his hirSute matted
With hayseed and crimson burrs.
And yet the farmers contented,
To him ali glory's bosh:
His every thought is centered
In hay and pig and squash.
He cares not If banks by dozens
And dozens go to smash:
He's never troubled or worried
By any panic or crash.
In prosperity or in panic
His optics glow like plums.
And he sits on the second mortgage
And peacefully sucks his thumbs.

How to Boil Vegetables.

HOW TO Boil vegetables.
Be sure that the water is at boiling
point before putting into it the vege.
tables to be cooked. If it is cold or
lukewarn, the freshness and flavor
will soak out into the water. Place
the saucepan over the hottest part OF
your stove. so that it will boil as
quickly as possible, and be careful
that the boiling does not cease until
the contents are thoroughly cooked
and ready to be dished.
Potatoes should boil half an hour
unless small, when fifteen to twenty
minutes will suffice. Let those of g.
common size, Or as nearly so as pos
sible, be selected for g. meal, and on no
account boil white and sweet potatoes
together.
Carrots, when young and tender,
should be boiled three-quarters of an
hour. When old, they require anoth-
er quarter. The same rule holds good
for onions.
Cabbage and caulifower require
from twenty minutes to half an hour.
The old fashioned method of boiling
cabbage from two to three hours is a.
mistaken one, and ruins both the ap-
pearance and the flavor of the vege-
table.
Green corn, peas and asparagus
should be boiled from twenty to twen-
ty-fve minutes. When peas are at all
old and present slightly yellow ap-
pearance this length of time will be in
sufficient; but the fault is in the peas,
which are not, and scarcely can be
made, fit for the table.
Lima beans, when young and ten
der, will boil in thirty to forty min
utes. Ii they are quite large and of a
white or cream color, forty-fve min
utes will be required.
String beans and ''butter BEAMS" as
they are called, resist more valiantly
than any other vegetable any attempt
on the part of cook to spoil them
by too much cooking. Tnree-quar-
tiers of an hour should be sufficient, if
they are fresh and tender. When g.
little old an hour will produce better
results.
Turnips should be boiled forty min-
utes in summer. In winter, they re-
quire an hour. Summer squash may
be prepared in half an hour, but the
winter vegetables will require three
quarters of an hour. Spinach should
be boiled twenty minutes. Beets re-
require an amount of boiling that
varies in proportion to their size and
the time of year. In summer, when
they are young and small, an hour

AS for instance, take the case of Captain

once have known it to fail. l will never be
without bottle" Captain Day also re-
ceived a circular letter, and in reply under
date of July /, 1887 he says: 81 used the
Oil as stated and was permanently cured of
rheumatism by It's use.'' During the inter
vening six years there had been no recur-
renee of the pain Also letter from Mr.. FL.
